Oportun Financial (NASDAQ:OPRT) announced its quarterly earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported $0.42 earnings per share for the quarter, beating analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.33 by $0.09, FiscalAI reports. Oportun Financial had a net margin of 1.87% and a return on equity of 12.14%. The business had revenue of $233.30 million during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $230.68 million. Oportun Financial updated its FY 2026 guidance to 1.500-1.650 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Oportun Financial’s conference call:

• Q2 exceeded guidance, with revenue of $233 million, adjusted EBITDA of $49 million, and seventh consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability; adjusted EPS rose 35% year over year to $0.42.
• Credit performance improved, with annualized net charge-offs falling to 12% and 30-plus-day delinquency reaching 4%, its lowest level since Q4 2021. Management expects further improvement to an 11% charge-off rate in Q3.
• Balance-sheet progress continued as unrestricted cash increased to $140 million, corporate debt fell to $135 million, and leverage declined to 6.5 times debt-to-equity; the company remains on track to approach six times leverage by year-end.
• Oportun raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA midpoint by $10 million to $168 million and increased expected 2026 interest-expense reduction to at least 15%, supported by debt paydowns and lower funding costs.
• Growth will remain deliberately controlled, relying on returning members and secured personal loans while new-member expansion stays constrained. Risk-based pricing, a new credit model, and additional marketing investment are intended to support more precise growth, but management said the broader long-term strategy is still being developed.
